So, does anyone know what critter is chittering out in the backyard every night the last week or so?

It’s not quite as loud as a cicada and has a different sound. It kinda sounds like a cheap toy machine gun firing 2-3 second bursts.

I’m assuming it is an insect of some kind as a disease squirrel would have died by now.

It sounds like it is up in a tree.
